it doesn't matter today

there is no sunshine

but that's okay

you shine on me

in so many ways

so I don't mind it

when the sky is gray

it doesn't matter today

the news may be bad

it usually is

I really don't care

it's just another quiz

right now I won't listen

to what it has to say

it doesn't matter today

          all those troubles and trials

          mean nothing to me now

          I'm not living in denial

          I'm taking all that life allows

neighbors may be pissed

government is mean

I'll just put these thoughts

in the pockets of my jeans

as far as I'm concerned

good times are here to stay

it doesn't matter today

there is no sunshine

but that's all right

as long as I have you

beside me at night

everything will be cool

come what may

it doesn't matter today
